Services
A systematic and regular programme of maintenance,
inspection and testing is carried out by qualified staff in
accordance with "The Institution of Electrical Engineers -
Code of Practice for In-service Inspection and Testing of
Electrical Equipment" (ISBN:0-85296-776-4)

Each appliance is comprehensively tested  to meet the
exacting requirements of the IEE code of practice for
In-Service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment.  
The inspection and testing will be carried out by a fully
qualified electrical testing engineer.

Minor faults found during the course of the inspection can
be repaired as we find them and the appliance re-tested.   
TERMS & CONDITIONS

1.        Our standard payment terms are 30 days from the date of our invoice
unless agreed in writing otherwise.

2.        As soon as an invoice becomes overdue, no further work will be accepted
from the client until the invoice is paid and the funds have cleared.
3.        If the account remains unpaid, we will send an Account Statement
Reminder, if payment is then not received within 7 days, we will then refer the
invoice to our debt collection agent, which will include further administration and
interest charges/costs as necessary to you. *(See Late Payments).
4.        SAFETY MATTERS (PAT) will refer all outstanding invoices of more than 40
days from date of invoice to Thomas Higgins & Co. Debt Collection Agents, to
save on administration and ensure timely payment. This may adversely affect
your company's credit rating. Additionally you will pay the Debt Collection Agents
Fees and any outstanding expenses.
5.        Companies who continually pay late will be asked for at least a 25%
deposit on any future project, with the balance payable on delivery of the work. We
may also ask for full payment in advance.
6.        Habitually late payers or non-payers may have their details published on
translation payment practices lists.
7.        To avoid further action, we ask that any company that is having real trouble
paying invoices get in touch as soon as possible, preferably before the due date.
8.        If all of the above measures fail, we will have absolutely no hesitation in
taking appropriate legal action.

9.        Records and Certificates will be sent when payment is received within 7
working days or sooner, therefore – payments received after the 30 days and 7
days grace period (a total of 37 days from date of invoice) will mean that if we
receive your payment for example on day 57 after the date of invoice then we will
post your Records and Certificate 57 days after receiving payment and cheque
clearing. In short this means the quicker you pay the quicker you will receive your
goods without legal action commencing.
*Late Payments :-Under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act
1998, Interest on late payments when both parties are acting as businesses is
charged 30 days after the date of the invoice at the rate of 13.5%. Safety Matters
(PAT) reserves the right to charge interest in accordance with the above.
A late payment surcharge of £20.00 will be added for each calendar month or part
thereof until payment is received and funds cleared.
